Autoimmunity refers to a condition in which the immune system mistakenly targets and attacks the body’s own cells, tissues, or organs, viewing them as foreign. This misdirected immune response can lead to a variety of autoimmune diseases that can affect different systems in the body. Understanding autoimmunity involves recognizing its ties to both innate and adaptive immune responses, the distinct roles of cellular and humoral immunity, and its variations across different animal groups.
